“Giving back to the community through volunteering is one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had!” – Volunteer.

“I was struck this time in Cuba.

It was like I was hit so hard; that I could not stop weeping. I was moved to great tears. Tears of humility that I was standing in the presence of saints as I realized how little I have suffered compared to them and how much greater I have complained.
